Why there is no single "termite treatment price"
Every homeowner asks for a flat number, but honest pest control companies will tell you the same thing: cost depends on what is actually happening at your property. A 2 BHK apartment with an early-stage infestation costs very differently to treat than a 3,000 sq ft independent house with active termite mud tubes running through the foundation.
The three biggest cost drivers are the built-up area being treated, whether this is a new construction (pre-construction soil treatment) or an existing structure (post-construction/curative treatment), and how far the infestation has already spread.
Pre-construction vs. existing-building treatment
Pre-construction soil treatment (done during the foundation stage, following IS 6313 guidelines) is usually the more affordable option per square foot because it is preventive — the soil and foundation trenches are treated before walls and flooring go up, with no drilling involved.
Existing buildings need curative treatment: drill-fill-seal along the plinth and walls, or anti-termite piping systems for taller structures. This is more labour-intensive since it works around finished flooring, furniture, and walls, which is why it typically costs more than pre-construction work of the same area.
Other factors that affect your quote
Severity of infestation: a spot treatment for one room is very different from whole-property fumigation and piping.
Chemical and warranty terms: treatments backed by a longer written warranty (we offer up to 10 years) usually involve higher-grade termiticide and more thorough application.
Accessibility: basements, terraces, and tightly packed furniture can add labour time.
Follow-up visits: a proper treatment plan includes at least one inspection after the initial job to confirm the colony is gone — factor this into what you are actually paying for, not just the first visit.
How to get an accurate number for your property
The only reliable way to know your actual cost is a free, on-site inspection — a technician measures the treated area, checks for active infestation signs, and gives you a written quote with the warranty terms spelled out before any work starts. Avoid any company that quotes a price over the phone without seeing the property; it usually means change orders later.
